Taylor - Little to do again.
Melchiot - Got caught too far upfield time and time again.
Bruce - Gives his all but he's not good enough at Premier League level.
Taylor - Played well.
Gray - Not difficult I know, but better than in recent games.
Pennant - Once again, got better as the game went on.
Butt - A couple of stray passes but overall probably our best player.
Kilkenny - Very poor.
Johnson - Needs some new shooting boots!
Heskey - Isolated admittedly but still poor. Should have scored.
Dunn - Glimpses of his old self but surprisingly substituted with more than half-an-hour to go!
Subs:
Campbell (for Dunn, 56) - Failed to convince me so far.
Jarosik (for Kilkenny, 58) - Should have started the game in my opinion. Tried to make things happen.
Forssell (for Johnson, 78) - Not on long enough to cause a threat.
Subs not used: Vaesen, Tebily.
